yes, doesn't it say coming soon on their website?

you can also use the mirror.rb more powerful

Thanks Tom, I think Ive worked it out, Ive been a bit lazy with component axis til now.... Re the fires: we are ok here, but about 50 miles away its horrific, death tool is now 220 and climbing, several small towns have literally ceased to exist, places that I know, I'm having trouble getting my head around it. I was in the 'Ash Wednesday' fires of '83 where we had a firestorm moving at 68mph, what happened on Sunday was worse, people just did not have time to get away. And it's not over yet. baz The Age newspaper has the full story. http://www.theage.com.au/

Tip: If the "start from scratch" Sandbox tool doesn't draw anything, try typing a lower number for the divisions.

Sure, just assign each scene a different style in the scenes tab.

Is this where you click Move and then Shift to make the selected move off axis? or does this apply here? Just an idea. mitcorb edit. oops. I meant select items, select Move, and then ALT to release from axis lock. Still, is this the appropriate procedure?

Thanks Jim and Remus. I don't use animations that much, so didn't think about this. But turning off transitions as Jim recommends certainly makes a difference. Jeremy

Well, if you don't want to hassle too much with them later on, you can just intersect the face they are on and delete all the holes. Should be faster than with the new components.

Great help guys, I got them working now. This is a pretty good ap. considering how SU can barely handle 3D vegetation. I know xfrog can work but that still kills most computers. THanks again

after reading your posts i did some experimenting and it turns out that i must have selected all then hide while inside the group. wierd, i wouldn't expect it to work that way. thanks for the replies, that could've caught me again down the road cause i had no idea why it happened.

its okay guys I made it .. it s not really fluid but it's fine

@caddict said: Look forward to trying out that add-on! I often build the basic house structure in a cad app, simply because it's easier to build walls, make openings, etc...then move it over to SU. It's ready to try - See: RpWallMaker

Dale, It worked... Thank you very much. That helps me a lot.

Another way in Renditioner is to simply set the image size how you would like it. Open image controls and make the render 4000 x 800 pixels, for example, and it uses those dimensions calculating from the center of the viewport.

and don't forget to take a picture of your pavement painting and post it here

Yes thanks, a glitch is the word I was looking for. To fix it I deleted the styles folder from "C:\Program Files\Google\Google SketchUp 7\Styles" then reran SU7 setup and chose the repair option. This worked fine though I didnt have a lot of custom styles so didnt need to worry about loosing them. For anyone trying this do a backup of the files first. In the future if I want to copy styles I will open the folder they are located in within the styles window and drag them into a new or existing collection. The problem seems to occur when you drag and drop within windows. Must loose a link???? Cheers, David.

Feel like having gold in my hands, not knowing what to do with it. Like i said before Solo handed me a model of a labrador and this is the kind of thing i want to use to make a tut about making all the drawings needed for making this out of stone (or plaster (y-tong) first). But how do i do this? I need a print of the silhouet of the dog, this is easy (i know now) (camera, standard views, front etc) This i could use first to remove all the stone from one side, but then i need the print of the green one in the beginning of this thread. The way i thought of doing this: copy the dog, move it to the left and to the back. create a 'projection on face with faces' to the wall on the right of dog-1, create a 'projection on face with faces' to the wall in front of dog-2, (see attachment-1) select dog-2 and move it 'over' dog-1 (see attachment-2) Now i was planning to use select and intersect with model, remove everything i don't need and then unfold the drawing i would see in front and in the back of the dog, but by intersecting SU is not moving anymore. There is probably an easier way of doing this (trying to get the 2 'green' parts like mentioned earlier) but how? Ofcourse i will keep thinking about this one, but tips are welcome [image: aSfJ_dog0.jpg] [image: HOJU_dog.jpg]

It looks like that's what's going on to me.
